Inhaltsangabe

The tall residential architecture market has dramatically changed in the past 10 years. We are now discovering more and more super-tall residential projects, some as tall as 70 or 80 stories, but more importantly, the overall scale of these projects is now reaching levels seldom seen before in both residential and commercial building design. Tall buildings can now also be found in places other than well-known vertical cities such as Chicago, New York City, and Hong Kong. Sky High Living not only features a selection of major contemporary residential and mixed-use projects including the John Hancock Center in Chicago and the Galleria in New York, but also recent tall buildings designed for living. Among these are the recently completed 72-story Trump World Tower in New York City, currently the world's tallest residential tower, the 67-story Park Tower in Chicago, the 50-story Le Park Tower in Buenos Aires, the 69-story Summit in Hong Kong, the 43-story Horizon in Sydney, and the 32-story Schielandtoren in Rotterdam. In addition there is a preview of about 50 of tomorrow's significant projects, which are currently under construction on different continents. All in all, many of these projects have never been published.
